2013 Cigliuti Barbaresco SerraboellaNebbiolo from Italy

$129.99

"Just bottled, the 2013 Barbaresco Serraboella is quite closed and reticent today. The 2013 boasts a serious center of fruit and tons of intensity, but it is also raw and not fully formed at this stage. Sweet red cherry, rose petal, mint, pomegranate and blood orange open up in the glass, but only with reluctance. The 2013 is deep, powerful and intense, but readers will have to be patient, as the wine is in no mood to show all of its cards today. This is the wine that most deeply shows its recent bottling. The Serraboella spent 26 months in oak, 70% in cask and 30% in 500-liter tonneaux."
